I believe it was the terrorists that started the war if my memory serves correctly. Something about 9/11 and 3000 + Americans being murdered. Minor details right?

Also going back to Bush getting us in this mess. The economy was good most of his 8 years, the numbers prove it. Remember Fanny and Freddie? Go back and watch the congressional hearings and see who started what and who said what. It's all there right from the horses mouth... or should I say the Democrats mouth who by the way controlled congress and the purse strings the last two years of the Bush administration. And for the record the Democrats also said there was absolutely nothing wrong with Freddie and Fanny... right before they crashed... under Democrat congressional oversight. Bush wanted an investigation and regulation. The Dems said no.

How soon we forget.
